For my friends who use Ezkeys: Upload a proprietary EZKeys MIDI pack such as 000851@SYNTH_POP and immediately receive synth_pop.zip. It will contain all of the MIDI tracks you paid for, sorted into folders according to BPM, time signature and key. https://ezkeys.kabaragoya.com/I obviously tested it on all my EzKeys files and it works perfectly. Does not work on EzKeys2. No need.

Interesting. I have always been aware that the EZK midi packs are proprietary and never gave it a second thought. This guy seems to be upset about nothing. I am surprized that he has a issue with EZK2 vrs EZK packs since I thought there was no difference in the format of the pack. They all work in both versions.

Dan, I don't think the issue he has is between the two versions. He is converting the proprietary EZKeys 1 MIDI to regular MIDI, at least that is what I got out of his post. IIRC you could not export EZKeys 1 MIDI to another sound source like you can in EZKeys 2, thus this is not an issue with 2. If I am wrong please correct me.

I am surprized that he has a issue with EZK2 vrs EZK packs since I thought there was no difference in the format of the pack. They all work in both versions. He is upset because when buying a TT EZK midi pack he realized that he had to buy the EZK unlocker for 179 more. And since he is stubborn he spent a week deciphering the code. And he shares it with his friends. I really liked his proposal.

So he bought the MIDI packs not knowing he needed the program to play them. The "EZK unlocker" is the EZK program! Still a bit strange, but I guess it is what it is.

Mario, to understand you have to read the last sentence of the site:
"So: [*****] you, Toontrack. You make some great tools, but if you advertise a product as a "MIDI pack" then deliver a proprietary binary blob that is not actually MIDI, that is bullshit. It's false advertising, disrespectful to your customers, and an abuse of your position of relative power."
You buy a midi for 29 but you have to give up 179 to use the 29, he's not wrong...

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
